He was furious at the reporter and then said, "Don't ask me political questions. I've told you before."

Rajinikanth was shooting for his upcoming film, Coolie, in Visakhapatnam. He took a break from the shoot to attend the audio launch of Vettaiyan, which is slated to happen on September 20 at Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
